Hanover / Goslar (dpa / lni) - Several tourism regions, associations and the hospitality industry jointly demand a quick response from the state government to their suggestions for cautious openings.

The financial pressure on the companies is now so high that you finally have to act, said the Harz Tourism Association on Monday on behalf of other organizations and companies from the Lower Saxony industry: "Many livelihoods are threatened, important service providers cannot rely on bridging aid from the federal government access - accompanying service and service areas also suffer massively from the lack of guests. "

The Harz Association joined forces with colleagues from other regions, the regional offshoots of the German Hotel and Restaurant Association (Dehoga) as well as the Federal Association of the Camping Industry and the Lower Saxony spas. They want to announce details of their demands this Thursday (May 6th). "The tourism industry has been in lockdown across Germany for six months now," it said in advance. «There are no prospects of opening in sight. It cannot stay that way. " Tourism experts from Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia also want to participate.

There is also resentment on the East Frisian coast.

Last weekend - over two weeks after submission - they continued to wait for signals from the state about an opening plan for tourism and the hospitality industry.

This contains a test concept, should be scientifically monitored and exclude day tourists for the time being, said the head of the shareholders' meeting of the East Frisian Islands GmbH, Wilhelm Loth.

It is “very regrettable” that we have not yet received any response.

Meanwhile, vacationers in model regions in Schleswig-Holstein are likely to go on vacation again under strict guidelines.

"We would like the accompanying security measures that we propose to be dealt with."
